Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique

"Please, don’t take offense. My teacher is just like that!" Shen Haoran said, cupping his fist to the Elders and Wan Fa Ancestor after guessing Elder Yan’s intentions. ’Since Elder Yan put on this show for my sake, I should play along and see it through to the end.’

"It’s no trouble. We just didn’t realize Nephew Shen had a teacher who is a Spirit Emperor Tier expert. That is truly your good fortune!" the Grand Elder of the Valley of Heartlessness said, stepping forward and waving his hand at Shen Haoran. They could only say as much now. Otherwise, were they supposed to blame Shen Haoran’s teacher? ’What a joke. He’s a Spirit Emperor Level expert. Getting so much as a glance from him is already a great honor.’

Shen Haoran merely smiled at the Grand Elder’s words and said nothing more. ’Sometimes, the more you say, the more flaws you reveal. It’s better to stay silent right now.’

"Nephew Shen, what happened with Ouyang Shaoyu earlier? How did he possess the strength of the Spirit Emperor Level? And what happened to our sects’ disciples? Weren’t you supposed to have died with Ouyang Shaoyu? What exactly happened in this Secret Realm?" Seeing that Shen Haoran was unwilling to say more about his teacher, the Grand Elder of the Valley of Heartlessness didn’t press the matter and shifted the conversation to the topic everyone was most concerned about.

At the Grand Elder’s questions, the surrounding Elders also turned to Shen Haoran with expectant looks. Shen Haoran had been here the whole time and was the one who knew the most about the situation. They needed an explanation.

As if he had long known the Elders would ask, Shen Haoran took a deep breath. He then recounted everything that had happened after they entered the Saint Emperor Sect. However, Shen Haoran concealed the matter of the Earth Spirit Profound Nether, replacing it with his teacher taking action to help him escape the deep pit. He claimed it was also with his teacher’s help that he managed to slay the Demon King.

Hearing Shen Haoran’s words, the Elders’ faces fell. What Shen Haoran said was almost identical to what Jian Wushuang and the others had recounted earlier. It seemed their sects’ disciples had indeed been slain by the demonized Ouyang Shaoyu!

"Alas, those were all genius disciples from our sects! They were the future of our sects!" Knowing the truth, the Elders were all grief-stricken, looking as if they were on the verge of heartbreak.

In response, Shen Haoran could only sigh deeply. ’Life and death are ruled by fate; it was simply their misfortune.’ From this incident, Shen Haoran once again recognized the importance of strength. ’Only with immense power can one change their own destiny!’

"Wan Fa Ancestor, now that this has happened, what should we do? Those disciples weren’t just the future of our sects, but the future of the Northern Domain as well. Now that they have all died so tragically, the future development of the Northern Domain will be set back by at least twenty years. As a Guardian of the Northern Domain, shouldn’t you give us an explanation?" after their initial grief, the Elders said, cupping their fists to Wan Fa Ancestor.

"Secret Realms are inherently filled with countless variables. You should have been prepared for the worst before you entered. I have nothing to explain regarding this matter!" Wan Fa Ancestor said coldly.

However, Wan Fa Ancestor’s tone then softened. He continued, "But as one of the Guardians of the Northern Domain, I do bear responsibility for this matter. What’s done is done; we cannot change what has happened. In a while, you may all go to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in the Desert Ancient City and freely select one treasure. It can be an Elixir, or a Cultivation and Martial Skill. Consider it my compensation to your sects!"

Hearing Wan Fa Ancestor’s words, the Elders’ expressions finally eased. The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in the Desert Ancient City housed the most precious treasures in the entire Northern Domain. To obtain even one item from it was an incredibly rare opportunity for the Major Sects. Although the value of a treasure still couldn’t compare to those genius disciples, it was far better than returning empty-handed with only the news of their disciples’ deaths!

"You all may come as well. You were the victims this time, so you are also qualified to enter the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion and select one item!" Wan Fa Ancestor then said to Jian Wushuang and the others.

Upon hearing this, Jian Wushuang and the others beamed with joy and quickly nodded in agreement. Then, under Wan Fa Ancestor’s lead, the group headed toward the treasure pavilion in the Desert Ancient City.

The Desert Ancient City’s Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was also located within this Secret Realm. However, the area where the pavilion stood was exceptionally rich in Spiritual Power, with not a trace of deathly aura around. It was definitely a Sacred Land for Cultivation!

"To preserve the treasures, Elixirs, and Spiritual Artifacts sealed within the pavilion, an abundant supply of Spiritual Power is required. That’s why there is a special Barrier outside the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. In a moment, follow my steps closely. You must not take a single wrong step, or not even I will be able to save your lives," Wan Fa Ancestor said gravely to the group.

Hearing this, the Elders and Shen Haoran’s group behind him all nodded heavily. They could indeed feel faint traces of an extremely dangerous aura in the surroundings.

Following closely behind Wan Fa Ancestor, the group cautiously stepped into the Barrier. Sensing the power of the Barrier around them, they were once again shocked. That power was something that likely only a Spirit Emperor Tier Martial Artist could withstand.

BUZZ...

After a short while, everyone felt their bodies lighten as the surrounding pressure instantly vanished. At this moment, even without Elder Wan Fa saying a word, they all knew they had passed through the Barrier.

"So this is the Desert Ancient City’s Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion?" Shen Haoran murmured, gazing at the enormous golden pavilion that had abruptly appeared before them.

Before Shen Haoran now stood a massive, ancient-style golden pavilion. Directly above the entrance, the name "Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion" was carved in large golden characters on a huge plaque, looking exceptionally magnificent and grand.

"The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion is divided into six floors. Elders, you may go to the fifth floor to choose. As for you disciples, you may choose from the fourth floor and below as you please!" Elder Wan Fa said nonchalantly, glancing at the pavilion.

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on everyone’s faces. After cupping their fists and thanking Elder Wan Fa, they eagerly headed toward the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

However, just as Shen Haoran was also about to enter, he was stopped directly by Elder Wan Fa.

"Shen Haoran, you come with me!" Elder Wan Fa said.

Shen Haoran was a bit puzzled by this, but seeing Elder Wan Fa’s stern expression, he could only nod. He then followed Elder Wan Fa toward the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Following closely behind Elder Wan Fa, Shen Haoran continuously glanced around. But before he could get a good look at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, his vision blurred. He found himself lifted up by Elder Wan Fa and flying directly toward the highest point of the pavilion...
